The Galaxy S26 Ultra is undoubtedly the flagship phone to beat in 2026. Samsung has made some meaningful improvements to the device in the latest iteration, and it's well worth the price tag.
Our colleagues over at SamMobile TV have put together a video review for the Galaxy S26 Ultra which dives deep into the many great qualities that this device has.
Right off the bat, you notice that the display on the Galaxy S26 Ultra is amazing. It's plenty bright outdoors and is just really pleasing to look at. The Privacy Display feature Samsung has built into it is also a game changer, ensuring that prying eyes are always kept away from what's on the screen.
For those who love using the camera, the Galaxy S26 Ultra has much to offer. The photos are bright, contrasty, with plenty of dynamic range. The f/1.4 aperture on the primary sensor improves the lowlight performance considerably, and the results are great in comparison to devices like the iPhone 17 Pro Max and last year's Galaxy S25 Ultra.
The full video review dives into a lot more detail about the many aspects you're likely to consider before buying the device, so do check it out. We'd love for you to subscribe to our YouTube channel as our team on there posts some great stuff on the regular!
